About These Birds
Tolima Dove
Medium dove, 26–29 cm, brown above with a grey head and pale underparts. Restricted to the Western Andes of Colombia in the department of Tolima. Inhabits humid montane forest. Poorly known and rarely observed. Endangered due to ongoing deforestation in its tiny restricted range.
Felsentaube
Die Felsentaube ist die Stammform aller Haustaubenrassen und einer der häufigsten Vögel in Städten weltweit. Tauben dienten dem Menschen als Boten, Nahrungsquelle und Forschungsobjekt – ihre Orientierungsfähigkeit und ihr Sehvermögen wurden ausgiebig erforscht. Darwins Studien zur Taubenzucht trugen wesentlich zu seiner Evolutionstheorie bei.
